hidden behind these perfect lives, there is often suffering addiction, depression, and even suicide. ah, social media has revolutionized our lives from young to old gym, and my name's maria street. i'm 40 years old. i have 4 children between one and 10 years old. i've had to try to balance my life between being a mother my work and my instagram account. like i'm, i'm in kaiser. i follow accounts that match my interests mostly about family activities. the kids are cooking and decoration, the acting, it's a kind of happy place for me. i rec, or something that takes me out of my everyday life on the work with young anna,

the doctor sure that my kids were crying shortly after you, where we can walk little so little by little babies or for we're doing the same thing. advertising is always tried to do or foster, namely to sparks on desire in another person, the dizzy r shield in this virtual world, it's not enough to present your life as a series of beautiful images. first, you have to peak the interest of others. some fastener in for dawn up when you post a photo. it took you a long time to frame, to find the right to filter and create a caption with different hash tags. i think you expect people who see it to like it or leave a comment la it voc reconco mata having comments under your posts is the most important thing. i want a fair photo. the founders of social networks have come up with a game changer. the like button, they all have their own version,

the thumb for facebook and the hearts for instagram and tick tock. to day our entire lives are subject to the judgment of our virtual friends. oh, well now because if they didn't, you know, hey, listen, that's nice. when they're gonna look at your 1st beetroot, let's beneatha this one on that was one is for our survey. so we need to be reassured that we are love to know that we are recognized that we are seen that we exist is saw. social media allows us to fulfill those needs, is a to receiver issue. it's a revolution. the desire to be seen, to be recognized, to be loved. got. that's where we go to look for it now. the yellow, oh, got a lot. in the past,

i would have to reach out to others for approval to see confirmation that i am worthy that i am, some one, get god that i don't want him to day. it's enough to post a few photos to get that reassurance. who has, who has, who has a city, ah, when giving meaning to one's life through the approval of others, is not just good for the ego. ah, the like also trigger is a physiological response in us. ah, like intrigues, certain parts of the brain. in particular,

those involved in the neural circuit related to feelings of reward i convulsive i more that same structure plays a key role in addiction to posse. but not, you know, it's mainly energetic dopamine urines that can be found in a fairly remote part of the brain. when you barry prove worth and the more you release, the more pleasure you feel it was your there is so being on social media, knowing that someone likes our pictures, or even liking other people's pictures, activates the pleasure centers and gives us pleasure. a poker. so understandably, it makes you want to go back and repeat this behavior, neither if it is compatible to secure their popularity and, and turn happiness. users must glorify their lives, even if it means putting everything on display garner the days of just taking the touristy photo in front of the eiffel tower. on

social media, any del moment can be turned into something that represents a whole way of life. oppose on a bench becomes a moment of euphoria. an ordinary pastry appears like a masterpiece. any one can transform their reality to fit their dreams. all you need is the right frame, the right filter and the right caption. all these tricks have only one goal to display absolute happiness. mary, my name is marie, i'm 22 years old and i have 4922 followers on instagram. ready ready ready ready yes, i tend to paste mostly fashion, beauty and lifestyle photos info sound. i like to post a little bit of everything showing a bit of my world or was so you can see a lot of me and social media. it's not just photos of my food or nails. i'll post all kinds of stuff, but mostly about myself and what,

what i to gaining followers brief transforms. she shells a very specific side of herself. she plays a role. i wanted her maxine and getting ready for a nice photo. i'll usually take a good hour to put on my makeup call that are makeup is my passion, but i also have to wear it for work by georgia. carried it over. i change my look every day and i never were the same look twice him on the max. so here, so if is i mean, ah, on social media, everyone can invent a new image for themselves. create a mask, play a role and work on perfecting it day by day. ah,

ah, is a bachelor of athens. i don't want to disappoint people. i don't want my followers or the people i meet to be disappointed in me. sundays from that scares me and ever ah, in 3 years, marie's new version of herself has attracted nearly 5000 followers. ah, if she does, if he put the philosophy inherent in social media, revolves round an ideal of success and representation walls. a law we gradually find ourselves in a war of clones to the game where everyone is competing against each other. event easy. i could development a tool such as the famous like button he ref means that we are not necessarily

trying to share, but rather to shy a g b prieto. i've seen that mobily, it looks in this culture of flossing, lucio said, which some call self branding, bronze ingle. every one becomes their own brand in order to exist in the eyes of others to view the renault existing. and i think that's something very troubling boxes because in a way that you thought it leads to being loved for a certain image or any sperski rather than simply for what you think to something or to me. pony mars in or but to some promote preschool book bossy will put you to co blue. if you want to shine among billions of accounts, it's not enough just to show your face. you also have to invent a story for your character. a lifestyle marie spends one day a week bringing her digital twin to life. ah,

we'll take a st and we can see the eiffel tower from the side. going to show a bit of that paris sheet is out. hello. and if, if they're ready, it's all good. i've already taken a few photos. oh ok. so let's say that it's true that we're staging everything. let's say you have a beautiful door. we will be jumping like maniacs in front of that door. whereas in real life, we just walk right past it or or matchers i bits a look at that could be a nice background for this. yes, most people see that you in a nice neighbourhood la hook has all that sold you. the idea of happiness is a successful life with friends, a good job in a nice family. a shop, a mind is pre subtle and

a healthy body. that's happiness on display. said these are you see of old respond via and his happiness, the successful life. this completely fake life, i can just create today and show it off to others without really having any other sandy equity on that i can create a totally imagined existence for myself without any one coming to verify the truth of what i'm saying. or bethany vision of united in me. and that way we can get into something that can become little bit dangerous because we are the flu, out of 200 photos. very select only one. it's a cliche picture. ah, marie has become dependent on this made up life she pretends to have

ah is it that i was just, i'm not used to showing up without makeup. i don't particularly like it today. i am really exposing myself. ah, i feel very, very vulnerable. because this is the real me said welfare, there are no tricks and no glamour. not sure, of course, civil what bar, i'm afraid of being judged her of as if this is long and when the mass comes off, the weaknesses shine through. i don't want people to like me because they didn't necessarily like people for

clearly that factors in that house. so oh, excuse me. i'm sorry. there's only sister belgium love it. it's really hard because you want to be nice and her friends and i just thought that as an altered are other, then it sounds so silly, but when you're younger and you don't have any friends, are, it's super hard. i called to present that of course, i want people to like me on social media, but either i mean my press since what, what i'm really looking for is validation. i woke her for vetted, pressed luba. no, you miss digital happiness is an invention. equal silly dick, the idea behind that is basically the miserable people are off of the spice in which they can be happy on the space with a space where they can develop and have simple relationships that lift them up a seal,

which therefore you could say that the more unhappy someone is in their real life group, the more likely they all to look for happiness on social networks for you. but of course, all of his digital happiness doesn't necessarily translate into real life happiness on the fi. she'll don't have you had more addictions into hello. hello. hello. is he wrong? even if the consumption pattern has changed, we can re open the file and start a follow up program. ok? oh, for almost 20 years, this center has been answering dozens of calls for health every day. people suffering from addiction to tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. ah . in recent months,

the medical team has had to adapt to newcomers who are addicted to social media. like, alexander may seem as one is when you were them along the brilliant resume. oh, can you come with me? yes. this was on my on average. my screen time is between 8 and 11 hours a day. sometimes even 12, although that's pretty rare. oh, he's got to use a ha, who of a n o screens. we sure that if no, just the fun corner from us, it's too much information to be on the phone all day. i watch over a 100 videos a day. i read articles and send messages. linda just, it's true that when you put the phone down, you keep thinking about it and you never really turn it off if level. because even when you don't have the phone fun, you think about the things you've watched was quality of the same goes for the night. when you're trying to sleep, i would say, consumes all of my daily life. without a doubt, you say,

always have the phone with you always. second, there is something like a compulsive obsessed inside that takes over the person's life. i agree, or elizabeth i made a person might not notice it because it's progressive and it comes on very slowly. total simile, look at also, be careful, spending too much time on social media can make you unhappy. manual mellow. larry's of social media is about images and stimulation. proceed if you associate this stimulation or behavior with pleasant feelings. that's conditioning, both companies just like drugs and other addictions, you want to repeat that behavior. bottom addiction to social media can also affect our ability to make free choices. it's a creeping addiction that can be difficult to cure m. o, you should seek a movie. how could you set as

a goal for our next session to limit your time on social media? often, i think i should set a fixed time limit for myself so that i can spend more time with my family and things like that. a walk instead of always being in my own bubble thought. so one of you, i think the social media create isolation, of course, that counts in real life. you have direct social contact. last the different day when lou for the last few years, alexander's life has been dominated by social media. so before he wouldn't tend to think of it as a disease, always both, but i think it actually is julio. but any other addiction you get hooked because you experience a positive feeling for a while all together, but in the long run it can have negative effects as if it gets you so low. tamika

may be giving it up completely, will be a little extreme loss. it that of limiting yourself is definitely important. we heard this have ox limited fossil bottle. how determined are you? i think lou mo, honestly, i don't know. simple and is that it's yours in order to keep the same problem with all addictions. you have to find something else that you enjoy. what works well is seeking other sensation as your risks, hydrogen. you don't extreme sports for example, like teenagers and 80. so you have to offer them something else. you can't just say, take this book and leave the tablet at public. ah, teenagers are the biggest consumers of social networks. ah, according to the french observatory for drugs and drug addiction, almost wanting to admit to spending too much time on social networks. 13 percent show signs of addiction at this virtual addiction leads to real life

suffering. oh oh good white offers there are seniors coming on white those guys the seniors. oh, how many seniors were at your place? i had 5 at the mother. but then why are you seeing that they were so many? well now i must be hanging out with seniors who us if was, if you want to sit down here outside the school yard apps are the new space where teenagers evaluate and compare each other. oh, wait, what that sound so did you see who it is now? seriously? yeah, i already showed you 400000 views. why didn't you tell me? i told you in the group chat, you got 400000 views on that video. 462000. wow. wow. and did you post it there?

yeah, yeah, but they're more videos and you know, to come and show me everything. yeah. every one was sending it to me. it totally went viral. if i did tell her girl and i missed it. 2 size i did as well. hello. my name is andrea, and i'm 16 years old. i'm on instagram antiques helped dirk 2 years ago. i gave up all my hobbies before i used to dance into theater. she was a lead auditor. i quit because to day i can't imagine living without social media that have resulted of has one of her fill out with. oh good amanda. my name is me when i'm 16 years old turning 17 in a month. i look at my friends stories. i look at what they were up to during the day what they posted, who they saw where they were here. well basically stories are, i just look at the moments from their lives growing elderly mom

a lot. see this guy. he's not that hot not. i'm not a fan, me neither, but there is one more or he is better looking, so i'll answer him or really. yeah, he is cool. but i was on that. i always audra chava based on these accounts, these virtual images. they form opinions about others and build their relationships accordingly. on dollar could, i could, among teenagers, you can tell by the way, a girl dresses. it opposes she makes her photos where she's from. and if you're going to get along with her, i thought on how they can resume a zoom into each person's photo to see who they are and what they're wearing for, which sneakers and best get what's that code? what brand is it, matt to jerry then you know, ok. we dress alike. so maybe we have common interests, or can you look at their stories and see, he's an activist. that guy likes art. she thinks sauntered and you actually build a personality around that person without really knowing them. it's that that should,

that was, could you think of this person is so and so, so we could get along, but it's all based on appearance that phillip out of it's still a balance to damn it is also targeted is always, is ideally, can reach on social media that we become envious of, or over order cultures without the clock hale and i see someone who is traveling who is with a boyfriend who lives in a dream department who is closed, that i would like to have but can't necessarily have a might already have a feeling of inferiority failing that she is better than me. and on top of that, she also has that thing. i don't even watch upon

that often. it's not necessarily jealousy, more like envy and disappointment in yourself. like there's a little bit of disappointment that you can't be that kind of personal. ah, the value is you devalue self for no reason at all. if you didn't have all those networks, those pictures, those instagram post, what would you can? hello, then i wouldn't care. one bit about anyone else's life is just automatic. can you say to yourself i, i can't have the life they have developed and you judge yourself and you feel like you're worthless. she drawer was at complex's about my nose and her was, but the more time i spend on social media, the more i dislike it when i've even checked out how much it costs to have it fixed . wow. and at what age you're allowed to get a nose job offer. it isn't sold on presidio natures are particularly susceptible to

this kind of thing because they are in the midst of identity building. it's the moment when you are meeting yourself. oh, moving away from the gaze of your parents, and it's a transitional time is embedded. after all, you're still growing physically as well. one is incomplete, so it's not necessarily the best time in life. physically them off is what's the time when we must get to know ourselves and above all? well then to accept ourselves is just what paula accepted. oh, i'm, i'm good. that did you have a good day for more or less in the salad? it's a beauty dictatorship. a hawthorne court said it was canceling this milt somehow without you realizing it, things creep into your life dreams. debaugh daniel cool. and they end up being your

criteria for beauty bonuses, you know, for example, the criteria for a pretty girl is that she has muscular and toned long with huge breasts has a waist like this with a bite like this, and leg like that. just like a model in my rethink your poorly at it and i was like, damn, i don't see any of that. i said to myself, but i really need to change because i'm not good back. i'm not beautiful manager, i'm not lovable miss the article. it's terrible, but that's how it happens. and i feel even worse because i tell myself that i can't get to that place because i'm not good enough uncle. ah,

for some doses, as he basically live in a society where things are terribly idealized on social media, is one of the culprit lamps. be careful with. the big problem is that we set the bar for happiness to high and then constantly accuse ourselves not living up to hello girl this above. as a result we suffer. sometimes these aggressive impulses are directed against our own bodies. keep asking what hosts are there, a different pathological behaviors associated with this problem of the dictatorship of happiness. mm. mm. ah me. and i stop changing social

media because my addiction drove me almost to suicide. or the idea, remember when i took my car selfie. i was 14 years old and i was at home and it was, it was a wintry night and, and i felt good. unfortunately, i didn't get the likes i needed or wanted, and i didn't get the validation i needed from individuals, which inevitably led to me taking more se, ah, striving towards what i came to be healthy, which was perfected skin perfect, perfect face. all of these things were really important. i,

i spend time will look in the mirror, take 200 piece of myself a day. me to do excessive exercise. i do use creams on my face all the time. i stopped eating for a period of time and tastes my food to perfect appearance. it sounds very extreme because it was the process i was going through, consumed my entire day. there was no room for anything else in my life. no room for friends. there, room for family. i know for my education either me . ah. and it is to cove my life into

6 months i became housebound. i didn't eat the house because i for if i left the house, people would literally be scattered me. that's how i felt about my appearance at the time that it was so imperfect that people would be scared of me if i walked on the street. a kind of felt like i was trapped, talk to my own home, talk to my own head, and unfortunately it eventually led to a crisis point. i felt like there was nothing else. i was so tired, so exhausted. and i decided, unfortunately, to try and take an overdose bmw. however, luckily, i was rushed to hospital and survived a

internet else. ah, if you want to teach the youngest generation to free themselves from the gaze of others, it's also important that parents limit their own use of social media. if children are exposed to these virtual symbols of success from a young age, how are they to act any different? have we become prisoners of social media as dictatorship of happiness? marie came to her own realization. after our meeting with her, she now has decided to take back her identity on instagram. it's time for me to change my posts. i've decided to do more simple things into only share content that doesn't make me worry about is this post ok or not already
